Obversvations

• If you are starting to learn Java, DSA-Bootcamp-Java repository might be very useful for you.
• If you want to look inside of Jar archive and understand what is going inside there – take a look at GDA(GJoy Dex Analyzer) tool.
• One more member of the Apache foundation in GitHub starts this month – Apache Pinot.
• If you need a web framework for Rust I would recommend taking a look at Axum project.
• If you are looking for examples of Solana on-chain programs – Solana Program Library might be useful for you.
• If you are interested in Solana and NFT take a look at Mataplex project.
• Rust is clearly one of the leaders in crypto-space.
